ahhh,

perhaps she sensed some anger in your question? a bit of a snarky feel to it? if you were feeling a bit frustrated it may have came out in a different tone.

But saying that, I have always found that when generosity looses its rarity, it becomes common, then expected. I struggle allot with it. Where if others turn someone down or simply say "no, I cant" Its no where near the same response when it comes from someone who has molded themselves the "go to person" for all and any help. I am having a hard time explaining, perhaps this thread will kind of help.

Hope all works well.
